I think it got lost within the discussion about having notes of differing lengths within chords. [Ace]4 doesn't have anything like the same semantical problems as [A4ce] so it might be better to discuss it separately. There shouldn't be any problem with any durational modifier being applied to a chord made up of same-length notes, should there? {[DGB][EAc]}(3:2:4[EGB]2[DFA]/<<{[EGB]}[EGc]/ for example. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack> * food intolerance data & recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files, and my CD-ROM "Embro, Embro". ------> off-list mail to "j-c" rather than "abc" at this site, please <------ To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
